Term-X

Group C is the interesting one.. AVB's Zenit, Monaco, Benfica & Bayer Leverkusen.. Tough group for all teams concerned, almost impossible to predict.

True, it's no good leaving if your departure isn't felt. You have to wonder what kind of relationship him and Moyes had for Ferguson to advocate someone who clearly wasn't a 'winner'.

What did they think of Arse/Chels etc fans turning up? Love the fact we gave them a friendly too, raises their profile.

The reaction from the goal they scored against MK Dons in the FA Cup was incredible, fans on the pitch and everything.. shame they ended up losing.

Just got this from clicking on the Champions league thread..

It's bad enough losing 4-0 to a league one side, but they've lost 4-0 to a club that shouldn't even exist.

Fuck MK-Franchise-Dons though, it's all about AFC Wimbledon.

London is a far more advanced city than Milan, but if you already live in England, italy would be more desirable as a getaway (obviously). As a kid I went pretty much everywhere in italy. Milan, Rome, Siena, Lucca, Florence, Pisa and Modena (home of the Ferrari).

Apple are like no other brand.. ever; the only thing they really sponsor is a music festival. There is nothing special about Samsung, however.. Apple is like a cult; sponsorship would be a double edged sword for them. Both are 'prominent bands' as you said, but not for the same reasons.

Nobody would agree with that, London is lightyears ahead of any italian city.

On the plus side, we will no longer hold the british transfer record.

Unless Milan match his wages, I don't see why he'd join willingly. 2 more years it is.

Just goes to show what competition for places can do to a player..

Torres' reaction:

You say that like it's an option.. He's on 175k pw, and won't get that kind of wage ever again in his career, Torres isn't going anywhere.

Doubt Apple will ever sponsor a sports team, they have a very unconventional way of sponsoring anything in the first place.

It means Chelsea will feature more heavily in the game on loading screens/future trailers, and demos etc. That's what I noticed when we had a similar deal under Kenyon, the same thing happened when City agreed a deal with them.

Called it. Recognised those ears from the silhouette, a lot were saying it was going to be Sturridge.

Still can't quite comprehend how far Serie A in general has fallen, Milan were the pinnacle of european football, such a shame.

Balotelli would never accept a role as Costa's backup, he'll want first team football at this point in his career. He's a loose cannon and Mourinho 'only just' managed to handle his attitude at Inter.

Van Persie 'on his day' is unmatchable though, but Costa fits us like a glove so fair enough.

Reactions from the other night: Steve Holland wtf.. ^ This one never gets old.
